Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, made this known at the 2025 Ministerial Press Briefing Series.

Keyamo emphasized that the bill would protect Nigeria’s aviation market from external dominance, allowing local airlines to thrive.
He also acknowledged the receipt of the final report of the Ministerial Task Force on Illegal Private Charter Operations and Related Matters, which aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s vision of “doing the right thing” across all sectors.
